May the force be with you

All I can say is that the past few weeks have been crazy.  Between work and boards I have not had much time to work on my blog.  I’m hoping soon, that will change.

I recently bought a Leica 35mm summilux.  This is probably the hottest going lens right now for Leica M-mount cameras.  All I can say is WOW!  I just uploaded a few pics today and I’m extremely impressed.

I took this one of my beautiful daughter and thought I would pay homage to my favorite trilogy.

GMC

Re-post October 2011

Shooting at an aperture of 1.4 allows for a very shallow depth of field.  It can give your pictures a very unique look.  It will also allow you to shoot in very low light.  Here is a recent picture taken of the grill of an old GMC truck.  The only part of the picture that is in focus is about 1/3 of the “G”.

On your way up

I finally got back home last night after 2.5 days of exams.  It was definitely an experience and really enjoyed visiting with colleagues that I haven’t seen in over 5 years.  Hopefully, I can now enjoy the remaining summer.

This is a picture I took in Des Moines a few weeks ago.  I was only there for less than 24 hours.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have much time to take pictures but did come across this stair case that I found interesting.

Honeycombs

It’s been a crazy past few weeks.  Traveling from Indiana to Iowa and then to Wisconsin and then back to Indiana in 4 days started the craziness.  Work has been incredibly busy and to finish everything off, I’m sitting in a hotel room in Chicago taking my surgical boards.  Starting next week, I’ll be able to relax (at least I hope I can).

I’m not much of an abstract shooter but for some reason I really like geometric shapes.  This shot was actually taken of an old bathroom floor in a restaurant/bar I was at in Wisconsin.

P.S.  After 6 months of patiently waiting, I had a Leica 35mm summilux delivered a few days ago and look forward to posting some pics in the next few weeks.
